Emphasizing experimentation and hybridity, the program invites students to participate in a community concerned with the pursuit of creative writing in a rapidly changing society. Curriculum is organized into areas of inquiry rather than genres and students can enjoy the freedom to experiment across genres and media as suits their creative purposes, and are encouraged to extend their practice beyond the page, drawing upon media, art, and performance.
Each academic year kicks off with the Fall Convergence, a gathering of nationally and internationally renowned writers and artists to engage topics in contemporary poetics. The year closes with the Spring Festival, where graduating students share their thesis work publicly and receive a benedictory reading from a student-nominated invited speaker. Cohorts work closely, bond, and collaborate—both in class and in quarterly salons where they share work in progress.
The priority deadline for autumn admissions and funding is February 1. Late applications are considered.
